I've been 3 times since it opened.1st time was a bit slippery, that was in Feb, other two were fine. No probs with grip at all. I'm running PIRELLI Diablo rosso corsas. Front slipped a tad in the wet, but I had knee down on the hairpin which wasn't clever. One of my top locations now. Can't wait to go back

Well what a great day I had yesterday, great weather, I'm bleedy knackered today

It was suposed to be a novice only track day



Hopkins & Kirkham were both there testing for Sunday, Hopkins is tiny, nothing to him. Kirham's pretty tall, thankfully they didn't ride with my group



2 of these nice Beemers in the pit next to ours



Finally managed to get my left knee down, not once but 3 times on the new harpin. Didn't quite manage the right one.

Pretty happy as I'm only running Metzeler Z6 road/touring tyres, with no lack of grip even from cold, but the new track is much better than when I rode it in April. Plus 2nd time round I knew the track and didn't have any moments, like the last time.

Do u guys ride to the track? The only reason I've not been to a track yet is cos I'd want to trailer or van it there so if I do bin it, I can still get it home. And I guess its pretty addictive

I've done 2 track days at Snetterton this year and ridden there both times. I don't have the option of trailering my bike there and nor do most of the guys who do track days.

In both events, only 3 bikes went down and they were all rideable after they'd bin binned.

I'd buy a Fixerpeg from DavieSV just to use on the gear or brake lever if that got broken.

Trailering the bike there would be nice, as its a tiring day riding there and back, plus riding the track.

Glad you had a good day mate. I now use a trailer as van hire was expensive and riding a pain unless less than hour away

I've just booked td at Snetters for 8 August. Can't wait.

You'll both enjoy the new track, if you haven't ridden it before.

You won't end up looking like a mong, so long as you keep out of the way of the real mongs

You'll love the never ending Corams right hander
